Numerous TGV stations serve the Paris and Ile de France region. In Paris
practically all the major stations do so. But three others circumvent this central
"end of the line bottleneck" and lead directly to :
- Charles de Gaulle Airport (Roissy) to the North East of Paris
- Marne-la-Vallée and Disneyland Paris directly East of Paris
- Massy-Palaiseau to the South of Paris
So, you can speed up your Paris travels avoiding the "big
city" if need be and book
your TGV
directly to one of these suburban
destinations
The TGV High Speed trains that link the North, West, South and East of
France and other international destinations DIRECTLY use
these three suburban stations to avoid going through Paris. Thus speeding
up continent wide travel. For instance you can book
a High Speed Train
directly from Brussels to Geneva or Lille to Bordeaux... and not transit
via Paris.
Below is a TGV map of the environs of Paris indicating these three TGV
stations
